Partners

Build the startup league with us

SOFL works with strategic partners, ecosystem organizations, gift sponsors, mentors, media partners, and contributors while keeping ranking influence separate.

Strategic partners

Ecosystem organizations helping shape distribution, credibility, community access, and Season 1 operations.

Gift sponsors

Companies that provide credits, tools, perks, or services for participating startups.

Contributors

Builders, researchers, mentors, media partners, and community operators who improve the league without influencing outcomes.

Contribute without breaking fair play

  • - Partners can suggest data sources, improve methodology, support events, make founder intros, or sponsor gifts.
  • - Partners cannot buy ranking influence, change scores, create private rules, or decide independent award outcomes.
  • - Any relationship between a partner/contributor and a participating startup should be disclosed.
